In a perfect world
every Thursday night for the rest of my life would be spent winning dance bets, celebrating with fruity Japanese drinks, walking the entire length of 14th street before settling in at the same place we watch every game, every time. Gummy bears and a couple of cans of cheap beer if we’re feeling lucky. I can’t say I am particularly glad to be a whole country’s width apart during...

The Superbowl is Sunday. Perhaps you’ve heard. Upping the ante on the usual mayoral-fruit-basket-bet are each cities’ public libraries: the SFPL and the Enoch Pratt Free Library.
“If the 49ers win on Sunday (which, let’s face it, they will), Pratt Library CEO Carla Hayden must recite George Sterling’s iconic San Francisco poem, “The Cool, Grey...

IT IS OKAY TO TAKE ME FOR GRANTED. I know when you fall in love with someone you will completely forget about me. That hurts my feelings, but it is okay. Please try to remember to text me, if you can, if you know, I have something going on in my life, like a work promotion or something.
Sometimes I wish I was Mindy Kaling, but then my jokes would surpass yours and our relationship would be...

Once upon time I would sleep for two days at a time and you would still be there when I woke up. What if the rest of the world saw me through your eyes—as a pretty and delicate amateur whose only flaws were surely inevitable. How would I ever know misery, tragedy, heartbreak…

Keeping it fresh on the same page since ninth grade day one when you taught me how to play Big 2 for the first time and I kicked your ass. I haven’t laughed this hard via chat since I was saruhnessx3 and you were aflex. JK. We always have this much fun.

It’s ironic because this name completely derives itself from one of our last private jokes together. We had just had dinner together after those dreadful late-night classes and were walking over to my place to read the New York Times cause that was precisely the type of things we did then. The once upon a time super top secret list that I only knew about— your mannerisms and jokes,...

npr:
“Ephron wrote fairy tales that spun things that really happen – reconciliation over time, mysterious chemistry, complex and loaded friendships, love after grief and loss – into things that don’t happen, or don’t happen very much. But I always recognized in those stories pieces of people I knew and conversations I had had; they were like choral compositions where everything else is just...

This is my beautiful friend Rebecca Kim. My favorite things to do with her include eating three-course desserts together in different parts of the world, running into her by accident in different parts of the world, and hanging out with her in secret for the sake of social politics, but only in New York. She prefers lychee ice cream over ginger ice cream because the flavor isn’t as...
